'lhis invention appertains to a novel at tachment for lanterns and the like, whereby the lanterns can be used for cooking, as well as for lighting purposes. The primary object of the present invention is the provision of a novel attachment, which is adapted to he readily associated with a lantern of conventional form and which is so constructed as to direct the heat from the upper end of the lantern to a hot `plate or the like, on which the receptacle containing the food to he cooked can he placed. A further object of the invention is to provide a novel cooking attachment for a conventional lantern of the above character, which will he durable and elficfient in use, one that will be simple. and easy to manufad ture and one which can he placed upon the market and incorporated with a lantern at a small cost.

1rWith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will he hereinafter more specilically described,

claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings:

Figure l is an elevation of the improved attachment associated. with the upper end of a conventional lantern,

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same, Figure 3 is a diametric section thro-ugh the attachment ktaken on the line 3---3 of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrows,

Figure a' is a diametric section through a slightly modified form of the invention showingthe hood of the lantern removed, and

ligure 5 is a horizontal section taken on the line 5 5 of Figure. t looking' in the direction of the arrows.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A generally indicates the improved attachment and B a lantern with which the same can he associated.

rFhe lantern B can he of any preferred type or make, such as the Coleman gasoline lantern, and therefore only a portion of the lantern has been disclosed in the drawing.

As shown the lantern B embodies the usual Serial No. 34,689.

globe. 10 and the cap 11. The cap 11 includes a top plate 12 having the raised cene5 y trai-portion 13 carrying the axially disposed chimney or sleeve la, over which an inverted substantially conical deflector 15 is placed. This del'lector permits the escape of heat from the chimney or sleeve 14 and the chimney or sleeve can be provided with a plurality of openings 1G. The heat detlector 15 is held in place in any desired way, such as by a. stove holt 17.

rthe improved attachment A is so conmi structed as to readily fit on top of the lantern so as to permit the same to he readily used in connection therewith and it is to he noted that the lantern can be simultaneously used for lighting` and cooking purposes. The attachment n embodies a sheet metal body 20, which l have shown in Figures 1 to 3 inclusive to he of an inverted frustoconical forni and the tapered end of the body 2O is adapted to lit upon the raised pori tion 13 of the cap so as to snugly receive the perforated sleeve or chimney 111. The upper enlarged end of the hody 2O can he provided with an inwardly directed flange 21 on which is adapted to be placed or secured the top wall 22, which forms a hot plate, upon which the cooking` utensil can be placed. lf preferred the marginal edge of the top plate 20 can he provided with a standing' flange 23, so as to prevent the accia5 dental sliding on of the cooking; utensils from the top plate, lllhile the attachment can he used with the lantern without any positive holding means, l have shown in Figures 2 und of the drawings the stove J0 bolt 17 passing through the top plate 21.

In Figures l and 5 l have shown a slightly modified form of the invention, in which the hody is in the nature of a cylindrical drum 25 and the lower edge of the drum is 95 adapted to lit upon the plate 12 and to snuit ly receive the raised central portion 13. lt is to be noted in this forni that the drum carries the top vall hot plate 26.

ln some instances, it might he advisable to remove each deflector 15 from the lantern and in Figure el of the drawings this deflector has been removed. 1n this instance the drum 25 takesthe place thereof.

From the foregoing description, it can he seen that l have provided a novel cooking` attachment for a conventional lantern whereby articles of food can be readilyv cooked thereon.

Changes in details may be made Without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, but: Y

What I claim as new is:

l. The combination Wit-h an illuminating lantern embodying a globe and a cap coniprising a top plate resting on top of the globe and having a centrally raised portion earryin0` an axially disposed sleeve, of an attachment. therefor Comprising a drum adapt-Y ed to snugly fit over a portion of the cap, and a plate resting on top of the drum and provided with a peripheral npstanding' iiange adapted to retain on said plate an article to be heated.

2. An attachment for illuminating lanterns Comprising a cap embodying a plate adapted to rest on top of the globe of the lantern and being provided *with a centrali) 'aised portion carrying an axiall,vv disposed sleeve, a drinn snugly' i'itting over a portion of the Cap, and a plate resting on top of the drinn and provided With an upwardly directed peripheral flange adapted to retain on said plate an article to be heated.

In testin'ion)v whereof I aiiix mj.' signature.
